Before Week 8, the Georgia Bulldogs’ defense didn’t resemble the dominant units of Kirby Smart’s championship runs. The Bulldogs ranked outside the top ten in pass-rush pressures among SEC teams, logging only ten sacks all season. With the Texas Longhorns boasting one of the nation’s most potent passing attacks — led by Quinn Ewers and rising star Arch Manning — many questioned how Georgia could contain them. It turns out Georgia had been keeping their best blitz packages under wraps, waiting to unleash them in this crucial SEC showdown. Their once-sluggish pass rush came alive in Austin, overwhelming Texas from…

The Georgia Bulldogs are heading back to Athens after a statement win, knocking off the top-ranked Texas Longhorns 30-15 in a road upset. While some may have considered it a surprise, head coach Kirby Smart wasn’t among them, standing firm in his belief in the team. “Our whole program was being doubted. I mean, did you watch the show this morning? I didn’t because I was in meetings, but I got 8,000 texts about it,” Smart said. “Somebody was doubting us. Maybe it wasn’t y’all, but there’s a lot of people doubting our kids and the ability to go on…

After Georgia’s hard-fought victory over Texas, head coach Kirby Smart didn’t hold back in a passionate post-game interview, where he took aim at both ESPN and the officiating crew. Known for his “us against the world” mindset, Smart typically uses perceived slights to motivate his team. However, this time, he had a legitimate reason to fire back—Texas entered the matchup as favorites, and Smart wasn’t about to let the doubters off the hook. “These players get the best out of me. Nobody believed in us. Your whole network (ESPN) doubted us,” Smart said. “And then they tried to rob us…

For college football fans, seeing Kirk Herbstreit in town often means ESPN’s “College GameDay” is highlighting the biggest matchup of the week. But lately, it also signals an appearance by his golden retriever, Ben, who has become a fan favorite. On Friday, Herbstreit and Ben stopped by a Raising Cane’s restaurant near the Texas campus to discuss Saturday’s highly anticipated clash between No. 5 Georgia and No. 1 Texas, while also filming a commercial.

Despite losing top 2026 quarterback recruit Jared Curtis earlier this week, the Georgia Bulldogs bounced back in a big way. On Friday, five-star defensive lineman Elijah Griffin, one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2025 recruiting class, announced his commitment to Georgia. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound standout from Savannah (Ga.) Christian Prep chose the Bulldogs over offers from USC, Miami, and 37 other programs. Griffin, widely regarded as the No. 1 defensive lineman and No. 4 overall player in the country, adds a massive boost to Kirby Smart’s 2025 class. “I put my heart in this. It’s time to take…

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continues to make history, becoming the first rookie since Candace Parker in 2008 to earn a spot on the All-WNBA First Team. The announcement, made Wednesday night, recognized Clark’s incredible debut season, during which she also secured the Rookie of the Year award. According to ESPN, Clark received 52 first-team votes and appeared on 66 of the 67 ballots, underscoring her impact on the league. However, the latest accolade brought an old controversy back into the spotlight, involving comments from Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter. Earlier in the season, Carter had delivered a hard foul…

Back in April, as Caitlin Clark wrapped up one of the most decorated college basketball careers in history, debates surged about where she ranks among the sport’s all-time greats. Clark left the NCAA as the highest-scoring player ever—across both men’s and women’s basketball—and shattered numerous records along the way. However, the lack of a national championship remains a sticking point for some. One of Clark’s fiercest critics on this point was her fellow WNBA star Breanna Stewart, a former UConn legend, who questioned whether Clark could truly claim the title of “best ever” without a championship. “Yeah, I think she…

Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark narrowly missed a unanimous win for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award, with 66 out of 67 votes going her way. The one dissenting vote went to Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese, Clark’s rival, sparking controversy and fan speculation about who cast the lone vote. Unlike the NBA, the WNBA keeps its season awards voting private, which fueled the debate even further. Amid the backlash, several WNBA reporters disclosed their votes to clarify they were not responsible for the vote against Clark. Hall of Famer and WNBA broadcaster Sheryl Swoopes, who faced criticism in the past…
